Abstract:

Fecal impaction is an important cause of lower gastrointestinal tract obstruction and carries high risk of mortality and morbidity, it is highly emphasized to early identify it to minimize any risk of complication. Recurrence is common, therefore preventive modalities as increasing the dietary fiber content to 30 gm/day, water intake, or discontinuation of medications that contribute to colon hypomotility. In this paper, I am pointing off the early recognition and treatment of fecal impaction to avoid lethal complications, therefore physicians should have higher level of suspicions because if

Abstract:

Fecal impaction is a known complication of chronic constipation and is particularly bothersome in the elderly population. Common complications of fecal impaction include hemorrhoids, megacolon, overflow diarrhea, and obstructive uropathy among others. Many case reports have been reported with fecal impaction and obstructive uropathy though none have reported overflow diarrhea as a presentation. In this case report, we present an elderly male who came in with overflow diarrhea and acute kidney injury that resulted from fecal impaction that caused obstructive uropathy. He was managed with cathar

Abstract:

Fecal impaction if left untreated can lead to the hardening of stools and the formation of fecalith. Fecaliths rarely cause serious complications and are usually managed conservatively. We present this rare case of a giant fecalith causing near obstruction in an institutionalized paraplegic patient at high risk for chronic constipation and fecal impaction. This case was also unusual for causing ischemic pressure necrosis in the rectum, thereby highlighting the possible serious complications of fecalith.

Abstract:

Fecal impaction is a common and potentially dangerous disease that occurs in all age groups with a frequency of approximately 15%. Children, the elderly and people with disabilities are considered the most vulnerable. It is a complex diagnostic and therapeutic problem. Coprostasis usually occurs in conditions of chronic or severe constipation, anatomical anorectal abnormalities, and neurogenic or functional gastrointestinal disorders. Fecalomas are one of the manifestations of coprostasis and can lead to a large range of complications. Only knowledge of possible complications and their timely

Abstract:

Emphysematous pyelonephritis (EPN) is a gas-producing necrotizing bacterial infection that involves the renal parenchyma and perirenal tissue. It is a life-threatening condition that requires a high index of suspicion, an early diagnosis and an aggressive treatment. Rapid progression to septic shock may occur. We report, to the best of our knowledge, the first case of obstructive EPN caused by a giant fecaloma. The patient was successfully treated with percutaneous drainage and broad-spectrum antibiotics, in addition to fecaloma evacuation using fleet enemas and oral laxatives. This shows how

Abstract:

A fecaloma is a mass of accumulated feces with a consistency much harder than that of a fecal impaction. It is most frequently observed in the rectum and sigmoid area, and associated complications include colonic obstruction, ulceration, bleeding, and perforation. A one-year-old, previously healthy boy with no history of chronic constipation was admitted because of vomiting and abdominal distension. An abdominal computed tomography scan showed small and large bowel distension due to multiple obstructive fecalomas in the transverse colon. As the fecalomas could not be resolved by laxatives, ene

Abstract:

Neostigmine is a parasympathomimetic drug that acts as a reversible acetylcholinesterase inhibitor. Clinically it is used in patients with acute colonic pseudo-obstruction (ACPO or Ogilvie’s syndrome, which is a gastrointestinal motility disorder characterized by marked dilatation of the colon in the absence of mechanical obstruction), postoperative ileus, urinary retention, myasthenia gravis, and in anesthesia to reverse the effects of nondepolarizing muscle relaxants. Both bolus and infusion are noted to be effective and lead to prompt evacuation of flatus or stool with a reduction in abdomi
